Especially that failed musician - seyi shay..

Ugly she goat..

I had earlier tweeted that Sheyi Shay and the rest be disbanded. Sheyi Shay sees herself as the mouthpiece of the other judges. Very biased and tribalistic. Even throwing tantrums on other tribes that's not yoruba. The lady us just too fool of herself. Obi is just a there like juju always concurring to whatever the goddess says. This is truly by far the poorest selection of judges on any musical show ever in Nigeria.

stancydg:
The above mentioned music reality show currently running on DSTV and GOTV platforms may likely be the "wackiest" (for want of words) music reality show in recent times going by the quality of opinions thus far by the jury, made up of a 3man panel of Obi Asika; a Record Label Exec, Seyi Shay; a perpetual upcoming artiste going by the unpopularity of most, if not all her songs and DJ Sose; who at best is skillful at selecting songs that'll mostly appeal to club audiences.

One would have thought the record label executive in the person of Asika, who ordinarily should have been exposed to artistes of various kinds, will as a father figure, be in full control of the selection process, by way of influencing the opinions of the others even though the antecedents of past judges on the show clearly sets a pace for divergence in opinions that in the end, engenders a robust decision for or against the candidates. This is terribly in deficit this time on the show, as as much as a snarl from the perpetual upcoming artiste is enough influence of the opinions of two supposedly mature and independently minded men. Sose even managed to take his obvious lack of knowledge of music and consequently, a lack of sound judgement to annoying levels by always concurring to whatever Seyi Shay breathes, despite his body language telling otherwise.

All of the above is obvious in the audition of the young music producer, whose image you'll find attached to this post. I can bet that IK, the show host was shell shocked that the young man had to be turned down for no reasonable point, except for displaying his musical dexterity. If that's a crime, then pray tell me what Idols is all about?

I was part of the very first Idol show in Nigeria that produced the likes of Timi Dakolo and Omawunmi and what I can clearly remember is that singing foreign songs or even displaying your vocal dexterity wasn't a crime. If it was compulsory for candidates to do local pangolo songs for the show to be seen as "Nigerian Idol", like Miss Shay foolishly posits, then I dare the show organisers to switch the nomenclature to "Naija Oosa/Ojuju etc" and compel the judges to speak Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.

Besides, in the first Idol show in Nigeria, the jury made up of seasoned music industry legend like Dede Mabiaku, Radio Joc; Dan Foster and a Ghanian lady popularly referred to as "It's not werking for me" had their independent opinions of the candidates even though one out of the trio always played the devil's advocate.

Question now is; who the hell is the devil's advocate that'll ensure a robust decision making process in the ongoing Idol show, when from all we see, all trio are sleeping with their heads in the same direction??

Reason the current panel needs to be disbanded, asides the joke Seyi Shay has made of the show by unprofessionally making mockery of young chaps she is meant to encourage, thereby wreaking psychological damages that may be indelible in the lives of the up and coming generation.

PS: I don't know the guy being auditioned in the attached pictures as I am speaking for countless others that are in my opinion, obviously far ahead of the judges musically, but were turned down.

stancydg:

Thanks.

Superpower:
she did not do well.She started well but when she got to bridge of the song she messed up.

RedAlert08:


Very useless lady.[/b] I don shag am before sha[b]. but that's a story for another day.

sgtponzihater1:


That girl probably sings better than yemi Alade

rationalmind:


I remember that particular girl. I was shocked she didn't make it, she probably has the best voice I've ever heard on that show. If I remember correctly, IK disagreed with the judges. Everytime I remember, that girls case still pains me.

I can only hope she doesn't let the opinion of those clueless judges discourage her

Angelfrost:


Nope... The organizers are playing it cheap. The show is just shitty and annoying.

The Voice is the real deal!

gurunlocker:


Yes, that's her! They even applauded her after performing, still they all say NO.

I've seen another 16 year old get picked, one Beyonce girl, she didn't perform like that girl. So I can't say it's because of her age!

Another Damilola girl with glasses that performed last week, same thing.

jozeflyfX:
Stop been haters, I guess the writer of this post does not know how to handle rejection in life...

I do not see what is wrong with the ongoing selection of those making it to the next stage...

This is nigeria idols not your village singing competition. Only the best get the job.

Mind you Nigerian idols is what I mostly practically watch each day all the time on DStv


Shey shey is doing a good job , so are the others.


Stop hating because u were not selected

Stancydg@ God bless you for bringing up this topic , when I saw these judges, I asked myself if there are no good music teachers in Nigeria better than Sheyi shay and Sose, I don't know much about Obi Asika. Why is Sheyi shay sounding too harsh to the contestants in stead of encouraging them. I noticed that Sose takes major decisions on whom to give golden ticket or not. Please next time judges should not sit together and should not talk to the contestants, they should only give points by pressing a button that will display how they voted to the viewers and they should also write down their observations for the music teachers to note and also display it to the viewers too.

This is my personal observation/opinion.

Romanoff:
Rotfl.

Seyi Shay shouldn't be there.

I don't know Obi Asika so I can't speak for his expertise.

DJ Sose, why is a DJ even there?

Unlike the Voice, there is no benchmark for quality on Nigerian Idol.

Today, Seyi cut corners for one talentless girl she knows claiming she will give her a chance cause she knows she can sing, even after a messed up performance.

ppogba:


The fact that somebody sang well by your own standard does not mean they are okay by the judges.

We, as Nigerians should learn to give the judges the benefit of the doubt and acknowledge if need be where we are not qualified to judge.

Judging musical talent, we know more than the judges.
Judging Super Eagles, we know more than Rohr!.

kingreign:

I watched an episode where a young lady in red did her performance and they ran her down, and terribly criticized her and made her feel less than a human and incapable. She started pleading for a second chance till the extent of bursting into tears that she had to resign from her job to pursue music.

I felt terribly sad by these set of inhumane folks acting as judge who are suppose to judge and encourage people to bring out the best in them doing the opposite of that.

OjukuwuHusband:
I like Seyi Shay......the mugu OP calling her an upcoming artist should show us the achievements of her family or villagers or keep shut.......if you can't take criticism kindly don't go for auditions.

Mainlymanof:

Wel I don't have nothing to say. I just quoted because i love quoting

Guess you're the mugu here. You assumed I am female. An assumption is the lowest level of knowledge.
